"Day After Tomorrow" by Tom Waits from the album 'Real Gone'
Lyrics
I got your letter today
And I miss you all so much here
I can't wait to see you all
And I'm counting the days dear
I still believe that there's gold
At the end of the world and I'll
Come home to Illinois on the
Day after tomorrow
Its so hard and its cold here
And I'm tired of taking orders
And I miss old Rockford town
Up by the Wisconsin border
What I miss you won't believe
Shoveling snow and raking leaves
And my plane will touch down
On the day after tomorrow
I close my eyes every nite
And I dream that I can hold you
They fill us full of lies, everyone buys
Bout what it means to
Be a soldier, I still don't
Know how I'm supposed to feel bout
All the blood that's been spilled
Will God on this throne
Get me back home
On the day after tomorrow
You can't deny, the other side
Don't want to die anymore
Then we do, what I'm
Trying to say is don't they pray
To the same God that we do?
And Tell me how does God
Choose, who's prayers does he
Refuse? who turns the wheel
Who rolls the dice, on the
Day after tomorrow
I'm not fighting for justice
I am not fighting for freedom
I am fighting for my life and
Another day in the world here
I just do what I've been told
We're just the gravel on the road
And only the lucky ones come
Home, on the day after tomorrow
And the summer it too
Will fade and with it
Brings the winter's frost dear
And I know we too are made
Of all the things that we have
Lost here, I'll be 21 today
I been saving all my pay
And my plane will touch down
On the day after tomorrow

I've been obsessed with this song for years, I WILL record this some day soon. It's a masterpiece in every way

[@kevinblessing4257]

Every time he sings "up by the Wisconsin border." I get choked up. I've been there, and I knew folks there. I'm here raking leaves and shoveling snow in Wisconsin. Just hit me real hard first time and still gets me.

[@kenkunz1428]

That's a great and sad song.

[@vincentbaker952]

Ever heard his Georgia Lee? A terrible true story.

[@JB-kn7ig]

Another superb piece, in this case anti war? from Mr. Waits.

That's dark, but all too true.

It's not anti-war, necessarily, it's about longing.

[@danielmunder810]

The stupidity and futility of war. He'll Broke Luce- another great anti-war song.
